Grand Pincer

A Great Sword crafted of a super-heavy pincer and minimal work. High Defense.
Based on the method used to make the Red Scissor and Great Scissor, with the material changed to the shell of the Daimyo Hermitaur subspecies. The harder blade gains both sharpness and keenness, so after a blow lands on a monster, the edge bites in deeper.
